After releasing Antonio Brown, the Raiders are bringing a familiar face back to their receiver group.

Keelan Doss, the rookie from Alameda and UC Davis and the Raiders’ leading receiver in preseason, is re-signing with the Raiders off the Jaguars practice squad, a team source confirmed. NFL Network first reported the move.

According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, the Raiders tried to re-sign Doss again Saturday, after releasing Brown, but the Jaguars offered to give Doss a rookie minimum salary of $495,000, despite his being a practice squad player. Garafolo reported that on Sunday, the Raiders offered Doss a fully guaranteed $495,000 base salary as well as a signing bonus of $300,000, which Doss accepted.

In one episode of “Hard Knocks” this summer, Doss told teammates in a meeting that his original signing bonus was $23,000.

Doss was heavily featured on “Hard Knocks” given his local ties and attempt to make the roster as an undrafted player. After the Raiders waived Doss, head coach Jon Gruden said the show did not reflect the team’s view of Doss.

“That was your story line. That was not my story line,” Gruden said Sept. 2. “He did a heck of a job. We tried to keep him on practice squad. He felt he had a better opportunity to make the team in Jacksonville. So we hate to see him go. We’re happy for his future … He’s a big story on the TV show. But that’s not the reality that we saw on tape.”

It is unlikely Doss would be active for Monday night’s season opener against Denver, as the Raiders will have to catch him up with their offense.
